Student Affinity Groups

Affinity groups promote awareness and 尊重 for diversity and 包容 at SI. They support the intersectional identity formation of their members and provide a 安全 space for students who self-identify within each affinity group. Although members of an affinity group may share a common identity, such as gender or race, it does not mean that everyone in that group shares the same experience. 而, participants recognize that their identity has an effect on the way they move through the world, and the groups offer time and space for empowerment of the individual and of the group within the greater 社区.
